Video shows Florida troopers chasing loose dog on I-595, sparking traffic chaos in Broward
Rush-hour traffic came to a standstill Monday morning as Florida Highway Patrol troopers chased an unexpected fugitive across a busy highway: a loose pit bull.
Aerial images captured the chaotic scene as troopers and a good Samaritan attempted to corral the dog on the I-595 eastbound ramp to I-95 in Broward.
The determined pup dodged capture multiple times, at one point pausing in a brief standoff before bolting again.
The chase caused major delays for morning commuters as rescuers struggled to gain control.
Finally, after several tense minutes, a second trooper opened the back door of her patrol car, and with the help of two men, guided the exhausted dog inside.
The dog was taken to the Broward Humane Society, where staff found she was not microchipped. How she ended up on the highway remains a mystery.
